Whilst Amazon Alexa will always be my favourite smart home ecosystem, I know I’m not the only one who’s found that connecting certain devices can be trickier than others. Sometimes it’s the Alexa app itself playing up, and other times it’s brands claiming to work with Alexa… but not really. Either way, it’s something to keep in mind.
Fridays are usually my work from home days, which means it’s the perfect time to tackle my review pile. My latest victim is the new Dyson Hot+Cool HF1, and as someone who loves secretly sleeping with a fan on, I knew I wanted it right next to my bed. That also meant connecting it to my Amazon Echo Spot so I could control it with my eyes half-shut, late at night or first thing in the morning.
